Beginners’ French II
Jean-Michel Folon (Belgium, 1988)
A continuation of the work begun in FREN 101 and its journey into the French language and around the Francophone world, based on the A1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference. With an approach that is communicative and collaborative, and inductive and interactive, the course develops understanding and the mobilization of knowledge as savoir-faire.
FREN 102 involves three hours per week of classroom work. At the end of the course, students will be able to understand simple communication and to communicate simply about familiar and frequently-encountered topics.
Classes are mostly conducted in French, with English as needed for explanation and cultural discussion.
